The shot of the running camel in Once Upon a Time in the Middle East leaves a striking impression, and director Wen Muye offers a profound interpretation of this imagery. He explains that the camel is the land’s most vital spiritual totem, embodying both perseverance and untamed freedom. He also points to a telling detail: the name of the character "Jamal" means "camel" in Arabic. As Xu Fu drives with more than 20 children in the car and spots the camel, their souls, along with Jamal's, seem to be journeying together toward freedom. #欢迎来龙餐馆 #film
